Company is holding a party in Las Vegas this weekend; paying for bus, hotel room, and extra paid day.

As a person that got a Game Design degree I have always been meh bout gambling(the games are specifically DESIGNED for you to lose!) but wonder if I should throw down $40 or something on slots for kicks and giggles.

I've never gambled with real money before in my life. What do you guys think? Should I throw down some money on slots or spend that money getting plastered at the hotel bar(by myself from the look of things)?

So yeah, before my stuff has even been unpacked; this weekend I'll be in Las Vegas for a company function.

Any fuzzies out there in the Vegas area want to hang out this weekend? Let me know, I'd be game.

I'm gonna be at FurtherConfusion 2013, staying at the Hilton. Gonna try to organize an improv Birdsmeet after Matthew Ebel concert on Saturday night.

If you want to say hi to this birdie at FC give my Twitter a meep, DerpyBird - https://twitter.com/derpybird

I've updated my icon: http://www.furaffinity.net/full/8992054/ and made a Halloween greeting card of sorts for the occasion: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9039137/

Now all I'm missing is a proper Halloween party.

This birdie is also looking for a sketch group to hang out with on the occasional weekend in the Los Angeles/Orange County area.

So how is everyone doing?

Looks like FA didn't forget about the occasion. o.o

Livestreaming burd live now. Come watch and chat.

Whoa there. Califur 2012 was over less than two days and this birdie is going to another convention?

You betcha!

If you happen to be at E3 and want to meet up, let me know! I only know of a few so-so parties and would certainly welcome an invite. Crashed a party hosted by the Louisana Economic Development for high tech industries last year & would prefer not resorting to that again. >.>

Still at Califur drawing up a storm!

I want to have sushi so badly, but must wait for Sunday cause I already bought my tickets to the guest of honor dinner tonight. @.@

Also been skipping means to squeeze in more time to draw and chat with random fuzzies in the Artist Lounge. Hungry bird is so hungry I could eat a whole lot of fish!

I'll be at Califur later this week doodling away.

If any of you want to wingwave and maybe catch a divine sushi buffet nearby $26/person all-you-can-eat off Friday or Sunday night; give me a beakpoke!

If you have sketchbook I wouldn't mind drawing in them too. Leave a comment and what's at saying about birds of a feather squawking together?

I gotta sit down and document the bird characters I made one of these days.

So far I have 3 tiers with main/Alts, side characters, and background/cameos. O.o

Anyone on Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer? My cold calculating bird brain seems to give me an edge in the game.

Send a screenshot of you hitting 4,000 and I will try to make something cool. Real-life have been super busy lately though so I can't gurantee a fast turnaround. But hey, it's free.

Anyone that watch me are in the Vancouver area?

I'm coming up there around March 7-11. If you'd like to hang out with bird, grab a cup of coffee, etc. please feel free to give this birdie a note/poke/reply.

Teaching myself to draw huskies and wolves ia harder than I thought. It's easier said than done because it feels like I make them too cat like.

Getting the head construction down. The person waiting for me to finish a 3 view head turnaround for concept please be patient as I figure this out. /ponders

Got a long weekend coming up. What should I do?

Yay, I'm back from Further Confusion 2012!

Got to hang out with lots of awesome fuzzies, drew in sketchbooks, and made several nice badges. They're starting to be commision quality. Still don't see myself taking comissions at the moment. (Not hurting for money plus I don't know/want to risk irking the IRS with 'other income' O.O)

Really wanting to go forward with a birdsuit though. Starting an earnest search for candidate fursuit makers that have the right style/feel and more importantly, the skill/talent to correctly build what I have in mind.

Nabbed from  likeshine.

This birdie is going to FurtherConfusion!

If you want to meet up with me do let me know by commenting below or via notes. Otherwise it's your loss. *poofs his well groomed blue crest feathers and stands there looking impressive* :>

I'll be armed with my copics, inking pens, and sketchbook.

Where are you staying?
Hilton

Where will you be most of the time during the day/s?
Aside from fine dinning? Split between meeting up with friends I've made plans to meet up with (HINT) and drawing furiously in the artist/creator's lounge.

Who will you be with?
Mostly by myself. FREEBIRD!!!

Do you do free art?
Maybe, but depends on mood and inspiration & if I know you beyond the last 15 minutes.

Do you do trades?
Maybe On the spot trades but I prefer to keep my sketchbook for my own sketches so that's not likely to work.

Do you do commissions?
No. My birdie muse is still working on its own schedule, which is why I can't take money for artz since it likes to work 'whenever' it wants to.

Do you have prints/ CDs ?
What???

What suits will you have?
*Sigh* I want one. Anyone know any GOOD avian suit makers that don't suck?

What is your sex?
Male

How tall are you?
6'0"

Can I touch you?
Only if I know you. This bird bites or may otherwise react unfavorably if touched without provocation. >=(

Can I talk to you?
Sure, if I'm unoccupied or not otherwise busy.

Can I buy you lots of drinks?
Um, I can hold my own fairly well but sure, how can this birdie turn down free alcohol?

Do you smoke?
NO. And if you do, please go do it somewhere else please. Cigarette smoke irritates my throat. :(

Can I give you lots of money?
Sure, I can use a few million dollars. O.o

Can I hug or snuggle with you?
Ask first. This goshawk is solitary by nature. Unprovoked hugging is not going to end well.

Are you nice?
That's a rhetorical question...who would say they're a jerk?

Can I buy you food and/or eat meals with you?
I tend to favor the nicer places since I'm technically on vacation. If it's not out of your budget range & you've made plans with me, I don't see why not.

Can I give you presents?
If it isn't on a timer I may be ok with it. Keep in mind I don't have any presents to give back as that isn't the purpose of this trip.

Can I hang with you in your room?
Only with friends I know. Strangers tend to start looting everything that isn't soulbound...

Can I dance with you at the dances?
Bird can't dance. I can squawk really loud, does that count?

Can I invite you to parties?
Yes, but no drugs or anything too crazy please. I'll get up and leave.

Cliquey?
The cliques can keep to themselves for all I care.

Personality Type
Bright, generally cheerful, and good for discussions on a wide variety of non-sports related topics.

Will you get anything commissioned?
Maybe. I just came back from a trip and got a ton of souvenirs already...depends if I find an artist that meshes with what I have in mind.

How can I get your attention?
Standard social protocol for getting someone's attention is to greet and introduce yourself or call someone by name.

Panels?
Avian/gryphon/Second Life panels maybe.

I am finally back from my adventures in Asia. I think I overdid the extreme eating a bit by trying things even the locals refuse to try.

Now I have to fill out an expense report. Fun fun fun.

In other news, it's good to be back in the USA. The air is cleaner and you don't wind up LARPing Frogger every time you attempt to cross the street.

I'm about to explode in a poof of red feathers from all the excitement. In the next 2 weeks will be going:

* To a holiday party held at an amazing local theme park
* To December PS Furmeet
* To Shanghai, China for a holiday party at an exclusive club in a skyscraper ritz birding it up
* To Disneyland Hong Kong for Christmas

I return only to head out to FurtherConfusion in a few weeks. I rarely get excited about anything or squee but SQUEEEEEEEEE!

^_________________^

Happy holidays from,
- A very happy birdie

*Preens feathered self furiously to be extra presentable*

Livestreaming for fun as of right now. Will prolly be on for 2 hrs or so.

After 2 crashes I managed to finish this little guy.

Eggroll fox is crunchy!

I haz skyrim. Gonna be a bit busy for a good while. o.o

My Khajiit sneaks around stealing everything that isn't nailed down and on occasion nails people to walls with my dwarven bow and arrows.

Well, aside from plans to watch a movie dissolving I'm looking forward to the next furmeet at the PS next week.

Been getting stuck with not drawing because of how busy everything has been. Going to try and use the time at the meet to draw SOMETHING and get my bird drawing groove back on.

Anyone got Battlefield 3? I'm good for co-op or a romp around the battlefield as a team sometime.

Look for Kithrak.

Will be out of communications for a bit while I prep and go to this amazing convention. Anyone else going? Look me up. ^v^
